@BronxFist I've said before about how DF is corrupted. A PS4 victory is ignored but a minor xbox one positive is blown way out of proportion. I don't think its a coincidence that eurogamer sponsors outside xbox. Reply-10

I've made sure to preorder Star Wars battlefront for the PS4. I have a strong feeling the xbox one version will be 720p as it uses the same frostbite engine. The xbox one has real problems with that engine. Reply+3

I knew this would happen. The PS4 versions lowest framerate is 50fps (which is still pretty good) but DF say its a big enough negative to rival the xbox ones shockingly poor 720p resolution and image quality. DF really are completely against giving PS4 games the win but will happily give the Xbone the win for the tiniest reasons. Reply+45

I wonder what bs excuse they will come up with to say the xbox one version is better than the ps4. I'm guessing it will be although the PS4 version has a far higher resolution the xbox one has a 1 frame framerate advantage so they say the xbox one version is better. Reply-4

@Triggerhappytel I've said for a while that Eurogamer are becoming very biased towards Microsoft. They keep trying to have little digs at sony. They even say Microsoft are closing in on PS4s sales. No they aren't. They had a few good months with massive price reductions but the PS4 is back to outselling the xbox one each month. Reply+2

@GooseUK the whole point of DF existing is to get people to click on the site and DF getting money from the advertising. Favouring the worst selling console and saying the best isn't that good causes controversy and website clicks which in turn makes DF more money. To put it simply if the better selling console always reportedly had the better quality games there would be little reason to click on df's articles as you know the answer. DF thrive on causing controversy. Reply-6

Digital foundry have been biased towards the xbox one for quite a while now. They have been playing down the PS4s strengths and playing up the Xbox ones strengths. The most obvious sign was their article saying a xbox one version "trumped the PS4 version". Very unprofessional and biased. If it was the other way round I doubt they would have that as a title. In fact they would say both versions were equal and play down the PS4s strengths. There is also their response to the survey saying most people say the reason the bought a PS4 over an xbox one is because of resolution. DF acted like cry baby xbox fanboys saying resolutuon doesn't matter. They don't miss an opportunity to praise the xbox but constantly look for reasons to hate the PS4.

It's because of this that I don't trust DF anymore and believe they would lie in order tho make the PS4 version sound inferior. Reply-5

This is an obvious click bait article to get eurogamer money from advertising. I expect the disk version will be updated and run better. Digital foundry are dicks though for their title. It's funny that when it's an obvious ps4 win DF find a way to say the xbox one version is just as good but when the shoe is on the other foot they don't say the same about about the PS4 version.

@Number1Laing I agree they look good but definitely not worth the praise they get. Take eg's article about toad trackers graphics and how it's refreshing there are no performance issues. I'm not surprised. There is nothing complex on toad tracker that couldn't have been done on a wii or gamecube.

While some devs like naughty dog are trying to push boundaries, Nintendo seems content to polish the past till its shiny. Old looking but shiny. Reply-22

@seeyoshirun but also their amount of polish could also be down to how their graphics lack ambition. Most of their games have really simple models and textures. It's easy to get a game to have a high framerate when it's simple. Take the new Zelda for example. They had the opportunity to do a stunning game like the tech demo but they went for the cartoony look because it's simpler Reply-21

@chuck_bone I agree. I've been playing this on the weekend. While its a good game, it's not amazing.

Like with most nintendo games, if it wasn't by nintendo and had different characters, they wouldn't score anywhere near as high as they do. Many of the press like nintendo games because they are Nintendo games regardless of how good they are.

If toad tracker was made by media molecule and had sack boy as its lead, watch all the reviews end up being 6/10. Even though the gameplay and quality are exactly the same. Reply-16

EG are trying to be controversial in order to get web hits. Saying bad things about Microsoft doesn't work anymore because they used to be so common. Constantly praising MS and bashing Sony works for now but soon that will change. Everyone needs to remember exactly why eurogamer post these articles. You don't pay to use this site so remember where they get their money from, advertising from web hits. There isn't much gaming news this time of year so eg need to create reasons for people to go on the site. Reply+7

@spectrumfox how many exclusives did MS buy? Nearly all of them. Dead rising 3, Ryse, sunset overdrive, tomb raider 2. Some of those games may appear on PS4 because Ms don't own the ips. Ms only knows how to make forza, fable and halo. Xbone may have more exclusive in 2014, but PS4 kills xbox one in 2015. Reply+26

Most people with a normal size TV of around 50" (so not XBBB) would notice how blurry the Xbox one version is and how often it tears. I prefer the 1080p v synched PS4 version. The framerate dips aren't noticeable and the mp is locked at 60fps. Reply+3

@XBBB when you say you can't see the lower resolution, tearing and missing effects on xbox one it's due to you having a tiny, rubbish TV. The do exist and us with normal size TVs notice how inferior the xbox one version looks. Reply-5

So the PS4 version is native 1080p, v synched, full effects, 60fps in multiplayer but has dips down to 50fps in online.

The Xbone is sub 1080p, has quite a bit of screen tearing, missing effects but locked to 60fps.

It's clear the Xbone has sacrificed a lot to get 60fps. Most people won't notice the PS4 at 50fps as its still super smooth. But more people will notice the xbone's blurrier graphics, tearing and missing effects.

I see this as a win for PS4 and don't listen to the xboners who will try and convince you otherwise. Reply+1

I notice the xbox fanboys are still using opinions to refute claims that the PS4 version is the best. It's a fact the PS4 version looks and runs better. Options on psn vs xbl are just opinions. Another fact in PS4s favour is that PS4 sales vastly out number the xbox one. Even the wiiu is outselling the xbone. Reply+3

I think they should have left it as it was. They have gone from being the most likely game to get the best sales on launch week to being very unlikely. Mind you cod will probably dominate sales up to Xmas anyway do I suppose it makes little difference either way. Reply-15
